According to the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, the Shahed-107 is a high-wing unmanned aerial vehicle with a wingspan of about three meters. It features an X-shaped tail assembly that provides flight stabilization.

The drone’s fuselage is made of carbon fiber, while its structural load-bearing elements are aluminum, making it both lightweight and durable. In the sample examined by intelligence specialists, a 15-kg cumulative high-explosive fragmentation warhead was identified.

It is equipped with a Chinese DLE-111 two-stroke gasoline engine. Similar small-displacement engines have previously been identified on Russian UAVs such as the Gerbera, BM-35, Parodiya, and Delta. The fuel tank has a capacity of 28 liters, providing the Shahed-107 with an operational range of approximately 300 km.
